As a vRealize Operations admin, you can backup the adapter configurations before upgrading, export all the adapter configurations, and import them into a different vRealize Operations instance. You can export the adapter configurations from vRealize Operations on-prem to vRealize Operations Cloud, vRealize Operations Cloud to vRealize Operations on-prem, vRealize Operations on-prem to on-prem instance, and vRealize Operations Cloud to cloud instance.

Note: Users with "Export" permission can export and users with "Import" permission can import the adapter configurations.

    1. From the left menu, click Data Sources > Integrations.
    2. In the Accounts tab, select the adapter configuration(s) that you want to export, click the horizontal ellipses, and select Export Accounts.
